What is Huayna Picchu?

Also known as Waynapicchu, it is the mountain that guards Machu Picchu in the northern part of the site. It is located 2,720 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.), almost 300 meters above the Inca enclosure. More than 600 years ago, on the edges of the mountain, the Incas built stone roads. In addition, they built in a cave the so-called Temple of the Moon, a place of worship at the top of the Wonder of the World. Climbing to the top of this summit is not easy. The roads are steep on the edge of breathtaking cliffs and, above all, tickets are hard to come by.

Today, ascending the trails of Huayna Picchu mountain is considered one of the most incredible short treks in the world.

The only way to experience this adventure is by reserving your entrance ticket in time.

Advice from people who have been there

Huayna Picchu

Daniel D.By: Daniel D.

“The adventure and then the view pay off the effort!“

“The climb is not difficult at all, but it is tiring taking it easy makes it very bearable and you can enjoy landscapes that in no way can be seen from Machu Picchu. Reaching the top gives enormous satisfaction and is shared with hundreds of tourists who achieve the same moment. Do it in the dry season because, in the wet season, it must be more difficult.“
